Developing Self-Awareness Workshop Series 

The goal of the Self-Awareness Workshop Series is for participants to develop insight into the variables that make-up and impact their internal word; how the external world interacts with that internal world; and the formation and consequence of self and identity.

Workshop 1: Introduction to Self-Awareness & A Look At Emotions and Feelings. 

In this workshop the concept and importance of self-awareness is  introduced and the topic of emotions and feelings is broadly examined with a theoretical and casual approach. The  workshop is approximately 50 minutes in length. Each workshop is part of a series but can be attended independently—no prior participation needed.

When: Monday 7/29 @ 3 pm, Wednesday 7/31 @ 4 pm, Thursday 8/1@ 10 am.  

Where: Drake University Student Counseling Center. Email john.roarick@drake.edu to sign up or seek more information. 

QPR Training: Question Persuade Refer

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help.
